EFA Patronage

Dear Hanna Kosinska Hartowicz,

On behalf of the EFA Board and its Chairwoman Agnieszka Holland I am happy to confirm our patronage for the upcoming New York Polish Film Festival taking place from April 26 to May 1, 2016 in New York and five other States throughout the year.

We very much welcome your plans of dedicating a special programme to Krzysztof Kieslowski who was the first director ever to win a European Film Award (at the 1st edition of the European Film Awards in 1988 with A SHORT FILM ABOUT KILLING).

We are looking forward to seeing the complete programme and kindly ask you to send any public announcement including our patronage to Pascal Edelmann, Head of Press & PR (p.edelmann@europeanfilmacademy.org) for prior approval. The wording of our involvement should be: Under the Patronage of the European Film Academy. Pascal Edelmann will also send you the EFA logo.

Wishing you much of success,

with kindest regards,
Marion Döring
Director European Film Academy
Producer European Film Awards
